Johannes Richter (writer)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johannes Richter , pseudonyms Maximilian Lahr and Hans Richter , (born July 12, 1889 in Berlin , † August 27, 1941 in Dubno near Lemberg ) was a German writer .

Life

Johannes Richter was the son of an insurance director. According to the “ Führerlexikon ” from 1934/35, Richter was a member of the “NS Club von 1929” as early as 1929 and later also an NSKK member. In 1931 he became chairman of the Association of German Storytellers, which after the " seizure of power " by the National Socialists in June 1933 became part of the newly founded Reich Association of German Writers (RDS). Richter became deputy "Reichsführer" in the RDS, but had to give up this position in March 1935 because he was not a member of the NSDAP .

In October 1933, together with 87 other writers, he signed the pledge of loyal allegiance to Adolf Hitler .

After the end of the Second World War, Richter's writing Wache auf Dodoma ( Scherl , Berlin 1943) was placed on the list of literature to be segregated in the Soviet occupation zone . In the German Democratic Republic , this list was followed by weddings in Mutarara (Scherl, Berlin 1940) and Quartier im Alsace (Scherl, Berlin 1941).

Due to the four utopian novels written by Richter in the 1920s - Der Kanal (1923), Turmstaat (1926), T 1000 (1927) and Ozeania 3000 PS (1928) - he is considered an important German science fiction author of the period between the wars.
